Program Overview
Data science has emerged as the fastest-growing career field in the past decade. Irrespective of the nature of the industry, data science has cultivated entirely unconventional ways of looking at and working with data, guided by standard statistical and mathematical principles. What is fascinating are the deep insights we gain with this—"data is the new fuel," as it is commonly known.
Data science and machine learning are buzzwords that go hand in hand. This one-of-a-kind MSc programme is a blend of data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to enable students' business decision-making and analytics. This M.Sc is an experiential degree programme that focuses on transforming you into a hands-on, skills-driven, strategic data science manager in today’s data-driven economy.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) both serve similar functions. Regardless of industry, ML and AI have drastically altered the landscape and created new ways of viewing data. All are backed by standard statistical and mathematical principles.
This MSc programme in Data Science, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence brings together the nuances of both disciplines to offer students exactly what is needed to understand the world of data, both in terms of tools and theory. Machine learning enables students' business decision-making and analytics.
Primary Outcomes:
1. Gain an understanding of data science, AI concepts, and MI algorithms with the application of each.
2. Develop critical thinking by taking up assignments that require problem solving, inference, and perception.
3. Understand business problems and weave an approach to solving them through learned principles.
4. Figure out a method to judiciously study and scan data to apply ML algorithms to reveal insights.
5. Be familiar with the tools and technologies used in the data science industry.

We focus on your development!
Real World Simulations
Various courses are accompanied by simulations in which you are given a situation that you must resolve based on what you learnt in the program and your experience. There are usually no right or wrong answers in simulations. They are to make you understand how a situation may unfold in the real world and prepare you to make the right decisions.
Personality Assessment
As an incoming student at Rushford you will undergo a personality assessment using a validated tool for MBTI® (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) to help you unlock the potential of personal growth. It is a groundbreaking framework that empowers you to hone your skills, identify strengths and differences, and lay the groundwork for an enriching journey of self improvement.
Networking Events
We understand the importance of networking in building a successful career. That's why we offer a range of networking events to help our students connect with industry professionals and build the relationships that can lead to new opportunities.

At Rushford, we offer you an ungraded skillset of both people skills and technology skills so that you can better appreciate how to operate in this new paradigm and be prepared for the landscape change that is inevitable in the coming years.
My mentor helped me see new perspectives in solving business problems and rightly guided me all along until the completion of my
program.
The experience, training and knowledge I gained was key to improving my personal skills and enriching my professional and training project.
Half of my learning was a result of my mentor helping me to see the contrasts and similarities between what I was studying in
class versus what happened in the real world.
I am working as joint managing director in Aquatek Sanitary Fittings Pvt Ltd. I have learnt a lot about the market flow and it helps
me to understand the need of the market.
The contents and curriculum are at par with the global reputed universities like Oxford and Cambridge. Joining Rushford was the best decision for me.
